Inter-crural intercourse is a type of "outercourse" which involves placing the penis of one partner between the other partner's thighs, either from the front or rear, and thrusting to create sexual pleasure. It is often practiced by couples who have chosen not to have vaginal or anal intercourse, which may be due to fear of pregnancy or STDs, or a distaste for penetration. This form of sexuality is not completely safe, as it still carries some risk of STD transmission and pregnancy. This can also be done by inserting the penis in the armpit.
Intercrural intercourse is frequently seen on ancient Greek ceramics
depicting pederastic sexual scenes, the more common genital groping pose
may be a sort of foreplay specific to
intercrural intercourse, lifting the testicles so that the penis may
better enter the area between the thighs. It is also known colloquially
as the "Oxford style", as opposed to the "Princeton rub" (penis-to-penis
frottage). These names refer to
homosexual practices supposedly characteristic
of the university they are named after.See also
